QA Greenway
Sustainable Queen Anne’s primary focus in 2013 is helping with the Queen Anne Greenway Project. The first big event – and we need your help! – is an evening assessment of the public stairs in Queen Anne. The goal of this assessment is to determine areas that are not adequately lit as well as areas in disrepair or in overgrown condition. There are some areas that are, quite frankly, not great. And these public stairs are a treasured part of our neighborhood and a vital part of traverses to buses, schools or stores.
Please come be part of a small team as we do the Queen Anne Greenways Stairway Audit Walk. The group will use the audit results to present our neighborhood’s needs to the Seattle Department of Transportation, to ensure safe routes all over the neighborhood.
We will divide up the neighborhood in sections and you can select a starting point near your home. It will be fun and a great way to meet your neighbors.
WHEN: Tuesday, April 9th, 6:30pm to 8:30 or 9:00pm
WHERE: Various start points around Queen Anne (your choice, map TBD based on RSVPs)
RSVP required: email Jody or Heather (jodyspam@comcast.net or heatrim@gmail.com)

Shine on Seattle
Sustainable Queen Anne was a sponsor of
SHINE ON SEATTLE OCT 9
Sustainable Queen Anne was proud to be a sponsor of Shine On Seattle, a community-led project that connected renewable energy opportunities to Seattle schools. As part of this project, we assisted Shine On Seattle’s founder, Elta Ratliff, in hosting a community bike ride to raise money for the purchase of shares in Seattle City Light’s Community Solar Project on behalf of local schools. The ride went from Gas Works Park to Magnuson Park on the Burke Gilman Trail on Sunday, October 9th, 2011. Ride participants could support their own school or choose a school. Energy credits generated by each school’s shares will be applied to that school’s Seattle City Light bills. Every school with a Seattle City Light account could be nominated to benefit from proceeds of the bike ride. In addition to fundraising, this family bike ride helped raise awareness of the city’s renewable energy programs, support construction of the Community Solar Project, and taught students and their families about integrating solar energy into daily life. It also served to strengthen community ties across our neighborhoods. www.shineonseattle.org
